Best 8 Juniper And Beer Braised Short Ribs Recipes

EASY BEER BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH DELECTABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275 F.
• Clean and rough chop all the veggies and set aside. Pat dry the ribs and liberally season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Over medium-high heat the cooking oil in a braiser/Dutch oven or large heavy skillet and sear the short ribs for about 1-2 mins on each side. Work in batches so that you do not overcrowd the pan. When nicely browned, remove the short ribs and set aside.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the veggies, stir them and let them soften for a few minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste (if using) stir and cook for about a minute.
• Deglaze by adding the beer and be sure to scrape all brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, the bay leaves, sage, thyme and stir in the brown sugar. Add the short ribs, distribute evenly and increase heat to bring to boil.
• Once boiling cover and place in the oven for about 3 hours. The ribs should be very tender before you take them out of the oven.
• When the short ribs are done, remove them from the braising liquid (carefully, the meat will be very tender) and let them rest for a few minutes. You can then remove the tendons and bones before you serve them.**
• Use a large, heavy skillet and complete steps #2 thru #5 from the Braiser/Dutch oven method above.
• Very carefully transfer the braising mixture and the ribs to your slow cooker and cook on low until they reach your desired tenderness.
• If you want to make a gravy from the braising liquid first scoop out the vegetables and discard them. Using a large spoon skim off and remove as much of the fat floating on top of the liquid. Then strain the braising liquid using a sieve.
• Heat a pan***over medium heat, add the strained braising liquid and the Dijon mustard and bring to simmer, mix to incorporate, add slurry and stir to thicken.

BRAISED BEEF SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F
• Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven or other large deep pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat for a couple minutes. Working in batches, brown the short ribs on all sides, 5 or 6 minutes per batch. Transfer the ribs to a plate after browning each batch. Add additional oil if needed.
• When all the ribs have been browned, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining fat from the pan. Add the carrots, onion, celery, garlic, herb bundle, bay leaf and peppercorns. Stir and scrape up any of the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid and cook off the alcohol from the wine. Return the beef short ribs to the pan with the accumulated juices, arranging the beef in one layer, then add the beef broth.
• Cover the pot with its lid and transfer to the preheated oven and braise for 3 hours. Transfer the pot from the oven to the counter top, adjust the lid slightly off-pan to allow the steam to escape and let the beef ribs cool for 1 hour.
• Using a slotted spatula or large spoon carefully remove the beef ribs from the pot to a platter and cover loosely with foil and set the platter in the warm oven while preparing the sauce.
• Pour the cooking liquids through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium-size saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
• While the liquids are reducing, mix the butter and flour together in a small dish, mashing with the back of a tablespoon to make a smooth paste.
• When the liquid has fully reduced to 2 cups, stir in the Dijon mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Remove from the heat and whisk the butter/flour paste into the liquid until melted into the sauce. Return the pan to a medium heat, continue cooking and whisking for another 2 minutes to a smooth sauce. Transfer the sauce to a dish or gravy pitcher

BRAISED HOISIN BEER SHORT RIBS WITH CREAMY MASHED YUKONS AND SESAME SNOW PEAS

Steps:

• Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot with a lid (Dutch oven) over high heat. Brown the ribs on all sides, in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the rendered fat.
• Return the pot to the stove, lower the heat to medium and saute the garlic and ginger for about 3 minutes. Add the ribs back to the pot. Add the beer and the vinegar. Stir and then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Pour the hoisin sauce over the ribs, move the pot to the oven, and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Remove ribs and ginger from sauce. Strain fat from the top of the pot so that you're left with just the good stuff. Serve with Creamy Mashed Yukons and Sesame Snow Peas.
• Boil potatoes until fork tender. Heat the butter and half-and-half over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot and mash with a hand masher. Add hot liquid to potatoes and whip with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add chives and mix before serving.
• Rinse the peas and trim off the ends. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oils and heat. Add snow peas and saute until bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and toss.

ROOT BEER BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Dice the onions, celery, and carrots; the pieces should be about the same size. Smash the garlic cloves. Peel 4 long strips of orange rind. Set everything aside.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place short ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and season all over with salt and pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat oil over high heat. Place short ribs in an even layer, without overcrowding (you might need to work in batches). Brown on each side, about 8 minutes total. Transfer browned ribs to a baking sheet.
• Reduce heat under the pot to medium. Add the diced onions, celery, carrots (a combination known as a mirepoix) and garlic to the drippings. Use a wooden spoon to stir, loosening the brown bits (fond) on the bottom of the pan. Then, sweat the vegetables until onions are translucent and have no color, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook to slightly caramelize, 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, pick thyme leaves from stems and thinly slice orange strips horizontally. Add 2 cups chicken stock, followed by thyme leaves, orange peel, Worcestershire, bay leaves, and root beer. Tuck short ribs into root beer mixture, then add 2 more cups chicken stock, just to cover; it's fine if some ribs are showing, since they'll shrink as they cook. Bring to a simmer; then cover and place in the oven for 4-4½ hours.
• Check ribs after 4 hours; the meat should be very tender and pulling away from the bone. (If it needs more time, return to oven and check again after 30 minutes.) Use a strainer or slotted spoon to transfer the ribs to a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet. Strain braising liquid through a large strainer or chinois into a clean skillet. Bring strained liquid to a gentle simmer; spoon away and discard the fat from the edges of the pan. When most of the fat has been removed, bring to a boil to reduce slightly, 3-4 minutes.
• Assembly: Gently place the short ribs back into the sauce and baste, to warm. Plate the ribs, ladle sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

BEER-BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• First, make the marinade. Mix the spices and 3 tbsp salt in a bowl, then stir in the oil to make a paste. Use a knife to make a deep hole in each short rib, then rub the spice mix all over and into the hole, working the flavour into the meat. Place on a tray, cover and chill overnight.
• The next day, heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan, tip in the onions and fry until you start to get a deep, rich colour - about 20 mins. Don't be scared of the colour, this will add amazing savoury sweetness to the dish. Pour in the beer and boil to reduce by half, then add the stock, treacle, thyme and oak chips, if using. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Place the marinated short ribs in your largest roasting tin. Pour over the onion and beer braising liquid, then cover tightly with foil. Transfer to the oven and cook the short ribs for 5 hrs or until really tender.
• Once the ribs are cooked, remove and put on a plate to rest and cool. Strain the braising liquid into a saucepan. Once settled, use a ladle to remove the top layer of fat, then set over a high heat. Simmer the sauce until it becomes rich and glossy, then whisk in the ketchup, mustard and brown sauce.
• To barbecue the ribs, heat your coals until ashen or set a gas barbecue to medium. Cook the ribs until nicely charred and hot all the way through, then baste with the sauce to finish and cook until sticky. To cook them indoors, heat the grill. Set a wire rack over an oven tray and place the ribs on top. Baste well with the sauce and grill, basting with the sauce a few times, until it forms a charred, sticky crust. Set aside to rest before serving with the onion rings and slaw (see Goes well with).
